Hello, everyone! This is my second fan fic to set up on FanFiction, my second fan fic ever, and my second Inheritance fic. All seconds! : ) I just want everyone to know that I have taken the time to read Eragon, Eldest, and Brisingr as fast as I could so I could write this fic accurately. I have also take the liberty to research further, but I do want to let everyone know that I'm not perfect, and in no way is anything of this story mine except the story-line, and a few OOC characters.

WARNING: There may be spoilers so viewer discretion advised.

My grammar isn't perfect, so excuse me on that. Also, I am a big fan for EragonxArya couple, and this is what this fic is based off of. Finally, here is a detailed summary: It is several years after the deranged king and rider, Galbatorix, was defeated by Eragon Bromsson and his dragon, Saphira. Through the years, Eragon managed to raise the dragon rider's back to power. Also, he managed to win the heart of Arya, the elf princess. Arya became pregnant, and the day before her child was born, Saphira laid an egg, the color a brilliant violet. Arya had a daughter the next day, and she was named Jade. Our story begins when Jade turns sixteen. Her life completely changes as she finds herself become more involved with the Dragon Riders more than she could have ever imagined.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything of the Inheritance Cycle characters because I am not the wonderful Christopher Paolini.

Rated Mature for future scenes.

Chapter One: The Greatest Gift of All

Jade sat in an empty meadow in the summer day. She was in the forest of Du Weldenvarden, about a league from the capital Ellesmera. Today, was her sixteenth birthday, and it had become a large ceremony. For the first time in the past few hours, the elf human was to herself. All morning, everyone had been bustling about, singing to shape the forest to decorate for her birthday. A heavy sighed escaped Jade's pink lips.

The young girl looked a lot like her mother, but she had traits from her father. Her hair was a lighter black, almost brown color. Her skin was tanner than most elves, and her face had a slight human curve to it. She was also a few inches shorter than the other elves. She was neither human, nor elf. Some had scorned her for her mixed origins, but Jade was very proud of her parents. She was the daughter of Arya, Princess of the Elves and also Ambassador, and Eragon Shadeslayer, son of Brom and destroyer of Galbatorix. A smile played on Jade's face as she thought of her parents. Even though her father and mother had been extremely busy, Saphira had forced them to come to Du Weldenvarden. They would arrive just in time for Jade's ceremony. Jade was excited to see her parents and the large sapphire dragon.

Jade leaned back, falling in the thick grass underneath her. Her long hair, which had a slight curl to it, settled around her like a silken blanket. Her emerald eyes stared up at the bright blue sky. It was a beautiful day, just like the day she was born. All was peaceful. All was well.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jade was in front of the large crowd standing at the edge of Ellesmera. Sprinting through the forest were Arya and Eragon, Saphira close behind. Jade beamed with happiness as she rushed towards her parents, waving and giggling. She embraced both at the same time, receiving kisses on both cheeks. She felt the gentle tickle of Saphira's mind brushing hers, and she gladly welcomed the warm embrace Saphira gave her.

"Hello, parents,"she greeted as she stepped back.

Arya smiled gently to her daughter. "Happy lífdag, Jade."

Jade bowed her head slightly as her mother congratulated her in the Ancient Language.

Eragon gave his daughter another tight hug, then said,"you are already sixteen. The time sure has flown." His scruffy beard tickled her cheek, and she chuckled.

"Yes it has, Father."

Eragon kissed her forehead and moved out of the way as Saphira lowered her enormous head until her large blue eye stared at Jade. She could see her reflection in the beautiful opal.

"Another hatch day passes for you, hatchling. I am happy for you. I have a gift that may not be for you, but it will never hurt to see. Before I present it to you, I must hear you promise in the Ancient Language that even if this gift is not for you, you will hold no resentment, scorn, or anger."

Jade nodded, promising in the ancient language. Saphira let out a growl of approval, then sat up straight, her tall neck towering over everyone. She let out a loud roar to gain everyone's attention.

"Today," she announced to all those who had their minds open. "I shall present a gift far greater than any gem or scroll or any such thing to Jade Aryasdaughter. This gift may not be for her, but as the daughter of my Rider, I feel the right and compulsion to present it to her."

Eragon stood next to Saphira, looking to Jade with pride. He evidently knew what was going on. Everyone else seemed a little confused. What could this magnificent gift be?

Saphira's long neck twisted around until she grasped a large pouch strung to her saddle. Carefully, she pulled it from the saddle, and lowered it back to Jade. Jade's eyes widened as Saphira dropped the pouch into her arms. It was heavy and round, but she could feel that there was a great energy in the pouch. With careful ease, Jade untied the pouch until in her hands sat a large, violet stone. Intricate darker violet designs where woven into the stone. However, Jade knew this wasn't a stone. Her eyes shot up to Saphira, pure shock on her face.

"S-Saphira?! Is this..." Saphira cut her off with a nod. Jade looked back to the Dragon Egg in her arms. She stared at it, and let out a squeak of surprise as she felt something stir within.

"It moved!" Eragon's breath seemed to catch as he heard this.

Saphira lowered her head once more and she said,"give it a few more minutes, hatchling."

Jade nodded and several minutes passed. No one spoke. Everything was silent, even the forest. Suddenly, a pecking sound came from within the stone, and it began to shake. Jade let out a small yelp of shock and delight. Then, with a sound of a small explosion, the egg burst open. A small, wet dragon lay curled in her hands. It's body was a rich violet color, with several shades of the color sparkling on its slick scales. Jade's eyes were wide as she stared at the little creature uncurling itself like a cat in her hands.

Eragon and Arya wrapped their arms around each other, Eragon placing one hand on Saphira's large leg.

"Our daughter is a rider,"Arya whispered softly.

Eragon nodded, chuckling. "That she is. I guess it runs in the family."

The little dragon looked up to Jade, chirping softly. Jade pulled a hand free from under the baby dragon, and slowly reached out to touch its head. A sudden white hot pain seared through Jade's hand, but she didn't flinch for fear of dropping the dragon. When the pain went away, Jade felt a new presence in her mind, but it felt very young and foreign. Jade smiled and held the little dragon to her chest, the creature licking her cheek with it's rough tongue. Jade rocked the baby gently back and forth as everyone began to cheer.

In the secrecy of her mind, Jade asked the dragon,"would you like your name to be Amethysia?" The little dragon let out a loud chirp, and Jade giggled. She motioned to Saphira, who let out a roar to quiet everyone down. Jade turned to them, and held her dragon up.

"Her name is Amethysia!" Screams of joy roared at Jade, and she pulled Amethysia back to her chest, hugging the baby. Amethysia's small head tucked into the crook of Jade's neck, and the girl looked to her family.

"Saphira. Father. Mother. I am truly honored for this. She is the greatest gift of all."

Well, this is the end of chapter one. Everything will start to move along real well hopefully. Please review! I'll try to get two more chapters up today, but I'm not sure! I hope everyone likes this. I really really do. : )
